MURALS
Some of the earliest cave paintings are over 44,000 years old. These paintings in France and Indonesia are the first known evidence of what is still a means of cultural expression. From the Stone Age cave paintings to the Egyptian Pharaoh tombs, from the Pompeian murals to the extraordinary Italian Renaissance murals of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel, from the grand rococo murals of Tiepolo in the Doges Palace and Francois Lemoyne in Versaille to the majestic mural by Diego Rivera in Rockefeller Center and the present day murals of mine and my fellow artists, murals are timeless.
